No surprise to see fantasy sports veteran Martin O'Reilly hit top spot as the league goes through its crunch festive period. "Tinkerman" Rinaldi cost himself a few points by juggling his side into third place while Kenny Ross remains in close contention.
It was a slow week for points which makes Doug Archibald and Ethan Colthart's 50 point totals all the more impressive. Desperate times for Clive Lindsay, however, with a miserable 19 point haul.
Back again to update in the New Year when, no doubt, many more points will have been gathered...

Ross hangs on by fingernails
League leading Kenny Ross kept a one point advantage at the top after another low-scoring round of GKL games. His edge over second place Mutu's Avengers is now as narrow as the setting on the clippers when he last visited the hairdressers. While, in a situation neither will relish, both balding supremos have Martin Reilly breathing down their neck.
Rich Godden and Colin Moffat remain in close attention with the top five forming something of a breakaway pack. Behind them James Horncastle had a poor week with no bonus points for the inclusion of Mido despite his alleged suffering at the hands of Newcastle fans. There was a similarly disappointing haul for Bully Wee Clive in seventh spot.
Meanwhile, a full GKL inquiry has been launched into the fortunes of Dillon Colthart's FC Tardis. Suspicions have circled the league for some time that some kind of Calciopoli scandal may be taking place with his team. The youngster professes to have NO interest in football and yet his squad remains ultra-competitive. It has prompted rumours that the Greatest Goalie - also manager of Salty Loch City - has been controlling his team. As all league members know there are strict rules on running more than one side and any infringements will be dealt with in the traditional manner. (A dose of grappa spilled in the groinal area).
Manager of the week was Iain Pollock with his Lockerbie Leg Ends and there was also good progress from veterans Carlo Rinaldi and Tommy Reilly. Stefano Rinaldi also performed creditably with 55 points to his Spartak Spakker side.
Finally, on a lighter note, Cristiano Ronaldo got sent off this week. Ha! Ha!
